AUSTRALIAN TOUR. EMERY DEADLY WITH BALL. NORTHAMPTON MATCH. SOUTH AFRICA'S SUCCESS. AT THE OVAL. By Telegraph -Press Aesoeintiou-Copyrieht. London, May 10. Fine weather prevailed for the resumption of the match Australia v. Northamptonshire. At stumps yesterday Colonials had scored 3(0, and (he County"' had lost one wicket for one. As will bo seen, the County representatives finished up tho first, innings 201 to the bad, were forced to follow on, and suffered a heavy defeat by an innings. Carkoek, tho first 'keeper, brought off a bunch of fine catches behind tho wicket. Emery captured twelve wickets for 110 in all.' Thompson proved the County's sheet anchor in tho first innings, and showed excellent form in the second. The attendance on resumption was small. Seymour and Haywood, the notout men, faced the attack of Emery, the "googlie" man, and Minnett, fast medium, 1 The score went to 25, when Seymour was brilliantly caught by Jennings oft Minnett —a low double-handed catch in tho slips. Two for 25, the outgoing batsman having . been responsible for five. Haywood was . 13. The howling had ihe effect of steady: ■ ing the.batsmen, ami had to be carefully watched. | J. G. Thompson. Chief County Bat, > Smith, the ox-West Indian all-ronnder, , followed, and after scoring five played late to Minnett, and was clean bowled— three for 37. Haywood meanwhile plugged away, and, with' Thompson, tho total ran to 50, made in fifty-five minutes. Then MacLaren, who had relieved Emory, ssnt him back with a "yorker," the batsman hitting over it. He had scored 34, and had given a chance in the same over to • Carkeek, who was standing well back to the Queensland "express." Four for 63. J. Denton joined Thompson, nnd the partnership added 30 runs, when Cavkeek ' caught tho newcomer, who had made 11, I at short-stop off Keileway. Fivo for 03, ' Thompson 21 not out. Both batsmen J treated the attack with great respect. I With W. Denton, who succeeded, ! Thompson carried the scoro to 106 without ' further loss, tho luncheon adjournment being taken at this stage. The batting 5 was uneventful, the bowling steady. V The crowd had increased to 1500 after lunch, when Keileway and Emery took " up the attack. The latter broke up the smalt partnership, Minnett stopping W. Denton at forward short leg for 7 runs. Six for 108. The batting continued dull and imen- ', tcrprising. AV'oolley followed. After getting a dozen lie provided Emery with enother victim, the batsman late hitting at s one which beat and bowled him. Seven for 145. Thompson was now 43 not out. He had got his runs chiefly by reside piny. East was next, but failed to stop (he march of Emery, the newcomer being dismissed by a brilliant low double-handed catch bv Matthews at short-leg for nought off that bowler. Eight for .143. It was nine for 152, as Matthews bowled Wells, who succeeded East, off his pads for nought, and Emery finished off the innings by sending back Buswell for 3, i . The innings, which had lasted 185 - minutes, closed for IG9-or 201 in arrears. ' Thompson remained undefeated for GO, ' c including four 4's. Thompson, the Eng- '. lisli professional who "coached" at Aucki land last- season, played a cbauceless in- \ nings, marked by sound defence, and t some.hard hitting towards the close. He •■> was at the wickets for 145 minutes. 5 The Australians' ground fielding was 6 put down as moderate only. Emery did ' particularly well with the ball. County Follows On. I The county followed on, Vials and Sey- . monr opposing Minnett and Emery. Scy- - monr having got B—all the Tuns seored- ! fe'l a victim again to Minnett, Carkock > holding a smart catch at short stop. Ono Haywood came in, only to see Vials go with the score unaltered, the latter playr ing Emery on, and completing that most E unsatisfactory douMo-a pair of spectacles. i Two fo" 8, , .... With fivo runs added, Haywood left, » caught cleverlr by Bardsley at deep mul--5 on off Emery for a "duck." Three for 13. J W Denton, in next, gave Carkeek another ! chance to distinguish himself, and the a 'keeper gathered in another clever catch off Minnett. Four for 25, Thompson 9 not • out. More About Thompson. 'a The batsmen, were still scratching, but i Thomson and Smith brightened things - up, with the. result that 50 was signalled ' after seventy-five minutes' batting. The " professional'had made 31, when he put i his leg in front to a full-pitch from Emd err, and retired after a tenure of eighty f minutes, He gave a chance at 27-a re--1 turn to Matthews-whieh was not accept--5 cd. Five for 90. '• Smith followed him to the pavilion 1 with the score at 102, the retiring batsman « having 37 (made in seventy minutes) to I liis credit. Ho excelled in driving and leg hitting, and was out through lifting Emcry to Minnett at mid-oif. Tho ThompsonSmith partnership lasted an hour, and had put on Go runs. \ Mowing the County Down, , Wcolley joined Denton, and was held s by Jennings'in the slips at the second " attempt, Keileway being the bowler. Seven for 100. Woalley had made but: 4. East followed, and Emery bagged aii- . other l.b.w. with a full-pitch- East, too, . "bagging a pair." Eight for 110. Bus- - well did not add to the score, retiring • clean bowled by Emery—nine for 110—but 9 Wells and Deuton made n brief stand, unf til the latter "got his leg in front to tho "googlie" bowler, who had captured seven f for 58, or twelve for 110 for the whole o match. '■ The innings closed for 137, Wolls enrry- ' ing out his bat. for 21, made in free style. The Australians thus had their first vic- ) tory by an innings and Gt runs'to spare. j Australia, First Innings 3"0 Northampton,—First lnnlng». . Vials, b, Emery 0 Seymour, e. Jennings, b.
